Quantitative Tools
Before you discuss the case, briefly discuss under what conditions are quantitative tools useful in analyzing data? Qualitative tools? Should you use both combined and why? What are the key issues/problems the OD practitioner has to be aware of while collecting and providing feedback on the data? Explain what an “intervention” is and how it fits into the organizational development process. How does data collection fit into the intervention process? Now, discuss the case in detail, providing a comprehensive discussion of the issues, a detailed swot analysis, responses to the questions in the case, and your recommendation for improvement. Your recommendation for improvement should include an intervention implementation discussion. Design the intervention that as if you are managing people through a change process. Make sure your intervention goes into detail – include data collection, methodology, diagnosing, evaluation, and analysis. This is a new intervention – not something you have experienced. In your recommendations, you may make multiple intervention recommendations, but only one has to be in detail. I will expect your ability to improve intervention designs to improve throughout the semester.
